Mother’s Day is May 10, and if the Mom in your life is into cannabis, we’ve whipped up a quick and handy guide to help you shop. We just published an epic 420 gift guide last month, so this one will be a bit more streamlined as we’re only focusing on women-owned brands.
There are several women-owned cannabis brands out there who develop products for all cannabis enthusiasts, and we’ll attempt to center those brands in this roundup. You will certainly see companies we’ve covered in past roundups, and that’s just because we’re big fans of the featured brands.
Even if Mom doesn’t usually use cannabis products that employ THC, we’ve also got some CBD items below, which are purported to have vast therapeutic benefits. We’re certain to have a little bit of something for everyone in this guide.
If there is a women-owned cannabis brand with great products for Mother’s Day you’d like to see featured, email D.L. Chandler [dchandler@bhmdigital.com], and we’ll do our best to update the guide.
